Ok so I've got v22 something that I thought might be going against my better judgment since Ive seen how many problems people have had with getting it to work with vista , but for the price I bought it for and since I run xp i figured it may work ok , unfortunately its not , I've got bobart as well so i would think that it could do planer cuts and such but its straight 2d at this point and it will post 2d ,
when I try anything 3d then bobcad wants to hit the internet (ignoring the dongle ) then i get a pop up saying "access denied"
I've got the latest version of the software , Ive tryed to upgrade the license as that was a supposed fix , ive installed the access denied patch or whatever that was supposed to be
am i wrong in thinking that if this has bobart that it should do 2.5d at least or did i shot myself in the foot by buying the notorious v22

has anyone here had the same issues and can offer some inspiration

Dertsap,

It's the Dongle. It needs to be sent back to Bobcad.

I do not know the exact problem but I believe it needs reprogramming or it is missing info for the License.

I suppose its the new addition to my scrap heap , I figured I'd give the software some benefit of the doubt , I'll cut my losses

You did pay money for it, it might be worth a phone call to see what your options are.

Is the dongle licensed for bobart?

Follow this link then download the V22 ACCESS DENIED patch.

If that link doesn't work, www.bobcadsupport.com/tech - Click on BobCAD Support Software Correction Files - Click on "Access Denied V22 Patch.exe

Don't run it from the site, download to your desktop, then install. You can delete it from the desktop after it does it's thing. Let us know if that fixes you up.

EDIT: My reading comprehension isn't what it used to be. I see you already did this. Hmmm. It's probably worth a try at uninstalling and reinstalling. I've never had to do this personally to fix anything but it works like magic for other people.

its licensed for bobart , so it should be capable of doing the 2.5d
Ive tried a reinstall , also tried loading it onto another pc , I was hoping to have it in use for some funky fixturing that I'll be working on next week , I farted around with it for a good while yesterday and last night , I'll try playing with it again later but i more or less give up on it

Your PC wouldn't happen to have a RAID Control would it??

[dertsap]

what the heck is that Toby ? I've tried it on my pc and my sons pc (older compaq) and got the same thing , I'll try the laptop next which was going to be the main computer for it .
its probably like you said , the dongle is screwed . funny thing is it will post 2d stuff

Read this:

I have a RAID Control on one of my PC's.

LOL, but I'm sure your favorite poison does a little more for you.
Sorry for your lose, but a phone call wouldn't hurt all that much, it might help. I just hate to see $$ go to waste.

THe 2d toolpaths will generate without a license. The 3d toolpaths will NOT generate without a license. No code will post for either without a license.

BobCad help menu-license to read the dongle. THis will have the key tag information for the dongles license. The online update wont work here. Tech support will email a new license file to update the dongle if the license is corrupted on the dongle.

If it is a bad dongle (ie; hardware) I dont know what would be required.

this is what is strange to me is the fact it will post the code , i can save models in all available formats but the 3d is toasted , maybe I'll give them a call on monday , my patience with this sort of stuff runs thin so I'll see what happens
I'm sure after the arguments that I've been into with the support guys here on the zone that they will be quite happy to here from me

Be sure to post back here with the outcome. I'm sure they will enjoy speaking with you.

OIC. This does sound more like the access denied patch thing. I do remember seeing a guy that required something special from the tech guy's that the generic patch didnt handle.

It's caused by a licensing change that happened awhile back with regard to the interfacial stuff BobCad uses. But I'm pretty sure they can get it going.

Also, did you get your V22 build 1137 installation file from the BobCad Tech site?
